Hamas and Islamic Jihad have launched a coordinated attack on Israel, resulting in a large number of casualties, mostly civilians.
The timing of the attack coincided with the momentum of the Abraham Accords, which threatened Iran's interests in the region. There are concerns of a larger regional conflict involving Hezbollah and Russia. Iran has denied involvement in the attack.
Israeli intelligence agencies failed to detect the attack due to complacency and a false sense of security. Some speculate that the recognition of Hamas as the legitimate government by Israel may have emboldened them.
We unpack this evolving situation with Aurel Braun, a professor of political science with the University of Toronto's Munk School of Global Affairs.
